    If you don't want our advice, then keep the schedules your way. Your screenshot shows that you have killed a Monday (Diff) schedule. If you feel that a Diff is backing up too much data, then maybe look at using Timestamp for Incr on this client rather than Archive Bit.

As I mentioned in previous posts, I have a total of 4 policies running on this server. 3 of the policies (configured the old way with individual different policies) appear to be working fine. (see screenshot of full weekend backup, then differential).

I had to stop the _Shares one because it was doing a full backup again when it was suppose to do a differential.
